The unknown Sotomayor scandal waiting to pop

I can see you folks aren't very interested in Sonia Sotomayor -- the posts aren't getting any comments at all. Maybe you're just not interested in anything that I have to say about her.

So let me try to manufacture a little curiosity on your collective part with a) a totally fake headline that has no substance behind but that I knew would get you to read this, and b), now that you've read this far, an idle prediction: She will be confirmed by a vote of 68-32, with two senators absent.

Thirty-two may seem high to some, but I'm betting that most Republicans would suffer no blowback for voting no because they come from states with low Latino populations and would put a thumb on the scale on the side of placating the base. So tuck it away and have at me when I'm wrong.
